“Mrs. Hallows is not only an incredible teacher, she is a mentor and helped my son become a better person . My son had Mrs. Hallows in Junior High and she went thorough an incredibly hard personal trial but still answered emails and showed such love and compassion to my child . She made English fun and helped my Son enjoy class . She transferred to the High School my son went to and he was super excited , and he does not get excited about school or teachers . He was able To get into her class again. Even though he is a tough student at Times , she was always kind , and tried to help him be successful no matter what it took . She stayed after school, or came in early if needed . I am an educator myself
and in 30 years of being in the school system I have never met a teacher like Mrs. Hollows that is so Invested in her students and will do anything to help her students succeed . She loved my son when other teachers thought he was a trouble maker , which he wasn’t , since he struggled with ADHD. Please pick her , she deserves it more than anyone !”
